Chapter 648 Prometheus
After leaving the banquet, Cedric came to the Greek city-state in the mortal world and walked into the temple of Athena.
After a while, Athena returned to the temple wearing a golden armor.
"Aphrodite, that big-breasted idiot."
The golden apple left by the goddess of dispute represents the "most beautiful person" among the gods, and naturally includes the powerful clergy of [Beauty].
As the twelve Olympian gods, Aphrodite, with powerful divine power, of course, knows that this golden apple hides Zeus's calculations. After all, the innate spirit of the Golden Apple Tree belongs to Zeus. As a weak divine power, it is not easy to get this precious fruit.
But for the sake of the clergy of [America], Aphrodite chose to stand on Zeus' side, help him set up a killing situation, and erase Achilles's aura.
"Where is Hera?" Cedric asked.
In fact, in this Trojan War, Zeus had a good balance of interests from many parties. For example, although Athena and Hera lost the important piece of Achilles, the Greek coalition also wiped out the city of Troy and achieved the final victory. They had unparalleled luck.
Therefore, after Hera, the "God Queen who is equally divided with Zeus", learned that he and others wanted to truly overthrow Zeus, would he stand on Achilles' side as resolutely as before, be the first question to consider now.
Athena shook her head slightly, "You can't pin your hope on Hera. Although the destruction of the previous few god kings all originated from the queen of God, the facts have proved that after losing the king of God, the queen of God is nothing. She can now guess what kind of purpose we are, but she is still watching. After all, there is the immortal killing situation you are involved in, and no one dares to move around, even if she is the high-ranking queen of God."
Speaking of this, Athena chuckled and said that the ally she found was really interesting now. Even if she just entered the game, her existence was enough to shock most powerful divine powers.
"Where is that Prometheus? Will he help us?"
Prometheus in Greek mythology has several important identities, the god of Titan, the creator of mankind, and the enemy of Zeus.
First of all, the first level of identity means that Prometheus will not be accepted by the current Olympus system under Zeus' leadership. After all, Zeus gained authority only after overthrowing the rule of the Titan system. They were naturally in opposition before.
The second identity represents that Prometheus has extremely powerful power and is also an ally of Athena. After all, when Prometheus created humans, he only gave various instincts and bodies to human beasts. It was the breath and wisdom of the gods collected by Athena that helped Prometheus complete the final cause.
According to Dongtu dialect, Prometheus owes Athena a cause and effect of enlightenment.
The origin of the third identity also originated from humans. There are two reasons why the Greek mythological system did not have a system of human and god beliefs like the DND universe.
The bloodlines of all gods in Greek mythology are derived from the Chaos God Kaos, which means that the true god can support his god throne from two aspects. The first is to have a stronger and more abundanced Chaos God Blood, and the second is to have a priesthood and gain the faith of mortals.
Not to mention the first aspect, it is almost the instinct of the true God to obtain a stronger clergy and more faith.
But Prometheus put another trap on Zeus in this regard.
When deciding how much humans should offer to the True God, Prometheus asked humans to divide a cow into two parts, one of which is a skeleton and the other is meat. Both parts are wrapped in cowhide and offered to Zeus for his choice.
The part that wraps the skeleton with cowhide is naturally much larger than the other part, so Zeus chose the former, which also means that humans can leave more things to themselves when offering sacrifices.
Therefore, although everyone believes in the true God in Greek mythology, they retain more autonomy. This is the right Prometheus helped mankind obtain in the dedication that decided to believe.
So Zeus became mortal enemies with this Titan god.
“He disappeared.”
Athena's voice was heavy, and a powerful ally disappeared, which naturally meant that her strength was greatly weakened.
"when?"
Cedric asked with a frown, "If it weren't long ago, then things would be serious, because it means Zeus can easily kill a 'creator of humanity'.
Athena saw Cedric's concern and explained, "While this is almost certainly Zeus' layout, it did not happen not long ago."
"Remember Hercules's twelve trials? In the trial of obtaining the Golden Apple, I designed to let Hercules, the destiny son of the human and gods, rescue Prometheus, who was tied to the Caucasus mountains by the gods. However, after Prometheus was rescued, his whereabouts were unknown. I should have been subjected to Zeus's calculations at that time."
When Cedric heard Athena's words, the infinite thoughts behind his mind began to deduce the past and future.
Prometheus helped mankind gain more freedom of faith and sacrifice, not only offending Zeus, but also offended most of the gods in this universe.
Therefore, Zeus took the plan and decided not to give human fire with the gods. Prometheus had no choice but to force the fire, which naturally angered all the true gods. Zeus was willing to use the authority of the gods to tie his biggest enemy to the Caucasus mountains, torture him day by day and never stop.
At the same time, he also discussed with the gods and lowered the Pandora's box as a punishment for humanity. Not only did he destroy the golden race created by the first generation of Prometheus and Athena, but he also divided the faith of Prometheus among humanity with the gods.
Judging from the above layout, Cedric had to sigh that it was not a coincidence that Zeus was able to take the position of the God King. Although he had a lot of pig's hooves, this kind of calculation could be ranked in the top fifteen even if it was placed among the immortal gods of the East.
What made Cedric care even more was what Athena just said.
There are two sons of great fortune in Greek mythology.
One is Hercules and the other is Achilles.
Zeus wanted to win the war with Gaia, the ancient Goddess of Earth with the help of Hercules, so he needed to help Hercules complete the twelve trials of the legend. The principle is equivalent to the pursuit of scriptures in the east and west, thus accumulating an incredible luck that even the immortals and gods could not resist.
In this process, Athena took advantage of the luck son of Hercules to rescue Prometheus, who was cursed by the gods, and was already considered a top-level player.
But now it seems that Zeus can really say in front of Athena, your father is still your father.
